MOC (WIP) Rebel Corvette

[Mandalorianknight]

This one's still a WIP, but I'm satisfied enough with it that I thought I'd post it here. Thanks to @BEAVeR's advice, unlike my MLC-3 tank MOC, the images actually work on this one!

I was thinking about how for ships bigger than the falcon/ghost, our only rebel ships we've had sets of are the Tantive V and the ship that's in literally two episodes of the Rebels cartoon. I don't think I could surpass any existing MOCS on the current roster, of ships (GR-74, MC-80, Nebuleon-b, etc), so I made my own design, essentially the CR-90 corvette's big brother. More armed and armored than it's predecessor, my design features large cannons towards the rear and a larger, more polygonal front section. My original goal here was to spend less than $20 on parts as to use mainly pieces from my own collection, which I have met at this point, but I think the orders I've currently got on the way bring my total costs past that number, by about double !

The greebling on the front is more detailing than I did on the other sections of the ship, I intend to add to the other sections once my bricklink orders arrive.

As viewed from the back. I like how the engines turned out, with the radar dish elements on the back of them. The stickers don't align, but I wasn't about to order a sealed copy of the escape pod set, so the ones I got from bricklink will have to do.

Front view. 

Front interior. Yes, they're resistance officers, but we don't have minifigures of rebel starship crew besides the ground crew. This area probably needs the most work. The crew also look a bit like clones since there aren't many options for faces with that headset design. 

Middle interior: Hallway, armory, and an engineering room.  Interior is once again very plain, but there's not much room to work.

Finally, the gunnery station for the primary cannons.

Any feedback, especially suggestions, is welcome!

Looks great man, similar to the Jedi Defender-class Cruiser from the SWTOR line.  Good job using mostly parts you had on hand, but you've got a of space in the cockpit that you could do something cool with!  Could be storage, bunks, or an armory, just ideas.  I'm not a huge fan of the turrets, maybe use part 4697b in the 1x1 clip and make them posable double canons? Not sure, I just like mine to be posable!

Good job with the colors and greebling too!  Any landing gear?  You could always build some mini starfighters to dock with it!

All great ideas! I'll have to order some 4697bs and 11090s to make double cannons, and I'll definitely make bunks part of the cockpit.

I have some rudimentary landing gear, it's stable but it can't fold, it's basically just This piece with a technic brick and some plates added on, four landing gear "legs" in total.

mini starfighters sound like a great idea, I'll try making some mini a,u, and y-wings tomorrow!
